The 3-D structure of proteins
Protein conformation in space Including long-range interactions Determined by:
Primary (and secondary) structures Interactions among R groups Disulfide bond and weak interactions

Protein stabilityUnfolded (denatured) High degree of conformational entropy H-bond of polypeptide with solvent (H2O)
Folded (native) Lowest free energy Stabilized by disulfide bond (covalent) and weak (non-
covalent) interactions: Weak interactions
Van der Waals interaction H-bond Hydrophobic Ionic
In general, the protein conformation with lowest free energy is the one with the max. no. of weak interactions.

Hb also transports H+ and CO2
Bohr effect pH and CO2 modulate the affinity of Hb for O2
Hb binds O2 and (H+ or CO2) with inverse affinity Hb binds O2, H+, and CO2 at different sites
Tissues: pH and CO2, O2 affinity , Hb release O2
Lungs: pH and CO2 , O2 affinity , Hb binds more O2
